Between Katherine's nephews, Ben's baby and my nephew Daniel, I got the chills just thinking about seeing him next month. I am his Godmother and his Aunt, Daniel is my sister's son. He is our only nephew. I am the oldest of three, divorced with no children, the my brother Jerry married but does not want any kids, so that left my baby sister with the arduous job to give my mother a grandchild.
He is lovely, I'm saving for education already, we count in both English and Spanish one to ten. He loves it, I am also creating a library for him, he enjoys reading, or babbling. I am enamored with this tiny adult. I give him independence, he is extremely smart, he chooses his own books, he likes the ones with the flaps.
So Daniel and I have shared some interesting conversations where I am the only one talking, and he listens well, and then blabs back to me, I often ask him what he would want to be when he grows up, I through good titles at him, pilot, astronomer ( I wanted to become an astronomer) engineer, architect, yeah he will decide I will just support him in his decision, I just think that it's important that at a young age he understands that I have great expectations of him, and that I believe that he is capable of becoming whom he wishes to become.
Thinking of Daniel makes me smile, I carry him in my heart. I now understand unconditional love to a new level, I now know unconditional love... because of him...

More baby talk - My sister is in the hospital and might have her twins early! She started contractions yesterday and they still haven't managed to stop them. I know she's freaking out, but I'm kind of excited about my two new nephews.
I hope all went well. And congratulations if she had the twins.
That is a cute picture. I have 8 nephews and 4 nieces. They are so much fun. That is a great part about the holidays is seeing all the family.
